I found today here that this building located in Praça D. João I was the highest of Portugal in 1945!
Even today is not very usual to see big buildings in Porto or even in Portugal, i think the actual highest buildings have around 100 meters and there are few, and its better this way (at least to me), vertical "villages" don't have quality of life, i need contact with real land.
ps:Ops, this one is higher.
and this was the case because i assume before living here i didn't know how intense and great is to live on this historical city with a 1,000-year history.
Meanwhile I have married, have a lovely daughter and settled downtown with no plans to move out. Since i'm not native my interest by Porto history has been always present from the 1st day i move, now is even more interesting because of this blog i pay more attention with some details that are now converted to big issues.
The idea of starting PortoDailyPhoto was at the moment i look at
